TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a waterproof decorative lamp, in particular a light emitting diode (LED) waterproof decorative lamp.
BACKGROUND ART
The existing decorative lamps generally comprise a lampshade, a light emitting diode, conductive wires and a lamp holder.
For such decorative lamps, one known structure is effectuated by integrated injection molding, i.e. a light emitting diode is disposed in a lampshade in a way such that two leads of the light emitting diode are led out of the lampshade through conductive wires and then the bottom of the lampshade and the connection portion between the conductive wires and the leads are injected with plastics to form a molded lamp holder into which the bottom of the lampshade and two lead-out conductive wires are over-molded, thereby producing the waterproof effect. For decorative lamps with such structure, it is necessary to deliver the bottom of the lampshade, at which a light emitting diode is disposed, to an injection molding machine for thermal injection-molding. As a result, the machining is inconvenient and the LED is easily damaged during heating.
Another known structure is effectuated by an assembled structure, i.e. a LED is mounted using a soft core and inserted into a soft head installed with terminals and conductive wires to form an assembled lamp holder. With this, the machining is quite convenient. For decorative lamps with such structure, there are gaps at a coupling portion between the soft head and the soft core as well as a coupling portion between the soft head and the conductive wires so that it is impossible to be waterproof, causing that the LED leads and the terminals are oxidized to render poor contact.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
Next, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, and in the following drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the components having the same functions.
Now the first embodiment according to the present invention is described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, in which the decorative lamp as a whole is designated by 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the decorative lamp 10 comprises: a lampshade 1 having a shroud portion and a neck portion; a luminophor 2 such as a light emitting diode, the luminophor 2 having a pin 2 a for implementing electrical connection; a wire trapper 3; a housing 5 and conductive wires 6.
The pin 2 a of the luminophor 2 is connected with the conductive wires 6 so as to connect the luminophor 2 with the electrical power of an external power supply. A connecting portion between the luminophor 2 and the conductive wires 6 is trapped by the wire trapper 3. Specifically, the wire trapper 3 includes a platform 3 a for example in a round shape (which may certainly be in other shapes), a support portion 3 b extending from a centre of the platform in a direction perpendicular to the platform as well as a partition portion 3 c extending from the centre of the platform in another direction perpendicular to the platform and opposite to the support portion. The platform 3 has slots penetrating through its entire thickness in opposite directions transverse to the extending direction of the support/partition portion, the slots allow the connecting portion between the luminophor 2 and the conductive wires 6 to pass and be trapped into the slots. Preferably, the slots are formed to the outer periphery of the platform 3 a to facilitate trapping of said connecting portion. For example, when there are two pins and two conductive wires and the platform is round (i.e. a rounded platform), a pair of radial slots are formed from the support/partition portion to the periphery of the platform in a radially outward direction. Certainly, the numbers of the pins, the conductive wires as well as the radial slots are not limited to two and can be selected based on the practical application requirements. Preferably, the support portion may also be formed with elongate slots that are similar to the aforementioned radial slots so as to accommodate the pin in the slots of the support portion.
The connecting portion between the luminophor 2 and the conductive wires 6 is trapped in the slots of the wire trapper 3, and the support portion 3 b of the wire trapper 3 is located between the luminophor 2 and the platform 3 a and rests against the bottom of the luminophor 2 to form a support therefor. The partition portion 3 c of the wire trapper 3 is located between the conductive wires.
The conductive wires 6 are connected to the luminophor 2 and then pass through the housing 5. After the wires 6 are trapped into the card 3, they are mounted into the housing 5. The space defined by the inner wall of the housing 5 as well as the partition portion 3 b of the wire trapper 3 is configured so that the inner wall of the housing 5 and the partition portion 3 b together press and fix the conductive wires 6 when the conductive wires 6 as well as the wire trappers 3 enter the housing. For example, when the housing 5 is substantially cylindrical, the lower end of the housing 5 is pressed in a diametrical direction to reduce the inner space thereof so as to cooperate with the partition portion to press and fix the conductive wires 6.
After the housing 5 is installed, the luminophor 2 is mounted in the shroud portion of the lampshade 1 by passing through the neck portion of the lampshade 1. The neck portion of the lampshade and the housing are provided with cooperating structures that form a sealing engagement therebetween. For example, the external surface of the neck portion of the lampshade is provided with a projected ring, while the inner wall of the housing is provided with a recessed groove; or the inner wall of the housing is provided with a projected ring while the external surface of the neck portion of the lampshade is provided with a recessed groove. Preferably, the external surface of the neck portion of the lampshade and the inner wall of the housing are respectively provided with cooperating threads so as to effectuate a sealing engagement by screwing the neck portion of the lampshade and the housing together. For example, the external surface of the neck portion of the lampshade is provided with male or female threads, and the inner wall of the housing is provided with the cooperating female or male threads.
Now the second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The decorative lamp as a whole is designated by the reference numeral 20 and comprises a snap-fit member 4, a luminophor 2, a wire trapper 3, a housing 5 and conductive wires 6. The structures as well as assembling relations of the luminophor, the wire trapper, the housing and the conductive wires in the second embodiment are similar to those in the first embodiment and the description thereof is omitted.
Similarly to the first embodiment, the conductive wires 6 are connected with the luminophor 2, and then the conductive wires 6 and the luminophor 2 pass through the housing 5 and are trapped into the wire trapper 3 to allow that the wire trapper 3, the conductive wires 6 and the housing 5 is tightly assembled.
Differently from the first embodiment, the luminophor 2 is not accommodated in the lampshade. Instead, the main body of the luminophor 2 extends out of a throughhole formed in the snap-fit member 4, is exposed outside and the snap-fit member 4 is mounted around the bottom of the luminophor 2 like a sleeve. Preferably, the throughhole of the snap-fit member 4 has a dimension equal to or slightly smaller than the outer size of the luminophor 2 so that the bottom of the luminophor 2 is mounted in and seals against the inner passage of the snap-fit member 4 after the main body of the luminophor 2 extends out of the snap-fit member 4.
The snap-fit member 4 and the housing 5 are respectively provided with structures for forming a sealing cooperation so that the housing 5 and the snap-fit member 4 are sealingly mounted together to form a complete waterproof decorative lamp. Likewise, the external surface of the snap-fit member 4 may be provided with a convex ring, while the inner wall of the housing is provided with a cooperating groove; or the inner wall of the housing is provided with a convex ring while the external surface of the snap-fit member 4 is provided with a cooperating groove. Preferably, the external surface of the snap-fit member 4 and the inner wall of the housing are respectively provided with cooperating threads so as to effectuate a sealing cooperation by screwing the snap-fit member and the housing together.
